A BATHING APE founder NIGO kicked off a new series of initiatives earlier this year titled NIGO’S WORKSHOP which coincided with Japan’s Golden Week Celebrations. Returning to his roots of hand printing t-shirts, the BAPE GALLERY in Kyoto will play host to a second round of hand-printed goods with the MILO warlords series. Five different designs in total will be available as you can watch NIGO in action on the 26th and 27th of June.

Following up with February’s announcement of the partnership between Bape’s Baby Milo and Sanrio (the masters behind Hello Kitty), here’s a look at the first drop of the collaboration. Featuring an overwhelming amount of outdoor goods and accessories including backpacks, sunshades, lunch boxes, towels, sandals and even more, making of a total of around 40 distinct products. Aimed for the elementary school audience every product on display here shall be available from April 21 at Sanrio stores and online. Look out for the second drop in July of this year which we can reveal will contain plenty of stationery.

A Bathing Ape will be launching a new collection for Baby Milo in memory of the Japanese tradition known as hina-matsuri. There will be two styles available.The t shirts will be available on March 2nd. The event which takes place on March 3rd is based on the tradition of displaying ornamental dolls on platforms as well as known as “Girl’s Day” in which families wish for the happiness and prosperity of their female counterparts. They will be available in Bape Stores worldwide.
